Drive Quotes
The push behind ambition, fear, and hard choices.
These drive quotes range from a stark wartime comparison of national resources devoted to weapons programs, to a personal drive built from insecurity rather than confidence, and a more forceful use of the word tied to conflict abroad. One quote closes with a simple call to drive out fear with anger. See Determination for the more motivational side of this theme.

Teenagers are like atoms when they're moving at hundreds of miles an hour and bouncing off each other. Everybody's got such a crazy hormonal drive and reacting to each other differently and getting upset over little things. High school puts all these potential explosions in one place.
